After James Milner revealed he hopes to play in central midfield at Liverpool, Nick Wright examines whether the former Manchester City man can deliver in the absence of club legend Steven Gerrard…
James Milner’s comments on his reasons for joining Liverpool were revealing. “I want to play football and play more centrally if I can - and that's where the manager said he sees me playing,” he said. “What he said to me made me want to come and play for him straight away.”
After four years as Manchester City’s utility man, Milner has arrived at Liverpool with the promise of a central role in their plans. Filling the Steven Gerrard-shaped hole in the Reds’ midfield while wearing their iconic No 7 shirt ensures expectation will weigh heavily on Milner’s shoulders, but it is easy to see why his name was at the top of Brendan Rodgers’ summer wish list.Milner has been joined at Liverpool by the likes of Danny Ings, Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Clyne since signing on a Bosman transfer from City at the start of June, but there is reason to believe his arrival could be the most important in their rapidly-executed summer recruitment drive.
The 29-year-old is chiefly known for his committed and industrious playing style, and while there is a lot more to Milner than mere work-rate, it is certainly a good place to start when examining his potential value to Liverpool as they prepare for life after Gerrard.
Dynamism
Milner’s remarkable dynamism is illustrated by Opta’s data for miles covered per 90 minutes last season. His average of 7.27 was only bettered by Burnley’s George Boyd (7.49) and Arsenal’s Mathieu Flamini (7.29) in the Premier League, something which will have been noted by Rodgers.
